Remarks. 



Quite equal to Fully Good Middling American cotton. 

 To-day's (10th July) price will be 8d. per Ib.c. i. f. 

 Bombay or say Rs. 425 per candy. 



This cotton is far and away the best of its kind grown 

 in Indian soil and acclimatized to the Indian climates. 

 Though not exactly after the American style, it is no 

 way inferior to Good Middling. The length of the 

 fibre is fully 1-J- inch. Good Middhng American of 

 1^ inch staple cannot be laid down in Bombay under 

 l^d. per lb. or say Rs. 365 per candy. If you add 

 oh per cent, discount allowed in Bombay tlie cost 

 comes to Rs. 385 per candy. We value this cotton, 

 therefore, at Rs. 385 per candy. 



This cotton is exactly like Naosari in its feel and length 

 of fibre. Value Rs. 340 per candy. 



Equal to the very best Surat. Value Rs. 325 per candy. 



This has the characteristic and style of the best Surat 

 and being slightly better than 7F in the length of 

 fibre, we value it Rs. 5 more, viz., Rs. 325 per candy. 



This cotton is of the Surat style. It has a long even 

 fibre like Surat, and the colour and appearance are 

 strikingly like it. It is lacking, however, in tlie soft 

 silky feel of Surat cotton. We value it in price equal 

 to the best Surat cotton namely, Rs. 320 per candy. 



This is again tlie best Surat style of cotton equal to 7F. 

 Value Rs. 320 per candy. 



Best Surat style of cotton. Value Rs. 320 per candy. 



Sm-at style of cotton. Value Rs. 320 per candy. 



Surat style of cotton. Value Rs. 320 per candy. 



It is same as 111, but a shade short in the length of 

 fibre ; therefore, we value it Rs. 5 less, say Rs. 315 per 

 candy. 



Surat styls of cotton, but slightly shorter in fibre. 

 Value Rs. 310 per candy. 



Surat style of cotton, but slightly inferior in staple. 

 Value Rs. 310 per candy.
